Live Online Research and Analytical Methods in Tourism Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Tourism boards, hotels and tour operators make costly bets on marketing, capacity and pricing, and those bets are safer when backed by sound research. Sessions open with the tourism research environment and sources of industry intelligence, including arrivals statistics, tourism satellite accounts, booking data and online reviews. You then design studies using visitor surveys, interviews, focus groups and observation, with attention to sampling at airports, attractions and accommodation. Data management and analysis days cover cleaning, descriptive statistics, segmentation, cross-tabulation and demand forecasting with time series methods.
Performance measurement sessions work with occupancy rate, average daily rate, RevPAR, visitor spend, length of stay and satisfaction indices, then show how to report them clearly. The final day applies research to strategy, destination planning, product development and sustainability decisions. Exercises draw on sample tourism and hospitality datasets. Tourism officers, destination marketers, hotel and revenue managers, researchers, planners and lecturers in tourism and hospitality form the core audience. You will be able to design a study, analyse tourism data and present findings that shape investment, pricing and marketing choices across a destination or business.
